The One That Got Away

I stood by the exit door in the hotel cafe

He was playin' with his band

I've always been a sucker, had a weakness

For a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand

His words were like heaven in my hurricane

My knees buckled under

I thought everyone was watching me

Watching you save my life with a song

You were mine in the back of my mind

O... just for one night

Just for awhile

There's always one that gets away

The one that sneaks up on you then slips away

Two weeks later I was sittin' in his apartment

He was makin' cappuccino

I said "what kind of man makes cappuccino?"

We laughed, we laughed, we laughed, we laughed

Till tears ran down my face

But my man you're someone else's man

And that ain't the man that I wanna want

But you keep drawin' me in with those big brown lyin' eyes

But you'll always be mine in the back of my mind

O... we had a night

Just a little while

There's always one that gets away

The one that sneaks up on you than slips away

In a closed off corner of my heart

I'll always see your face

The one that got away

The one that got away

The one that got away

The one that got away

The one that got away

I'm not a victim of cliches

I don't believe in soulmates

Happy endings or the one

Oh but then I met you and all that changed

I had a taste

And you're still sitting on the tip of my tongue

You were mine

Somewhere in time

I'll look for you first

In my next life

The one that got away

The one that got away

The one that got away

The one that got away

The one that got away
